Visitors to this year’s ComDex won’t be able to lug their laptops and bags and other nerdiphenalia onto the trade floor, on the off-chance that their gear is a ticking bomb.
In addition, the organizers advise visitors to “please leave bags, briefcases, backpacks, laptops, etc. at home or in your hotel room.” People carrying purses and fanny packs must enter through a separate security check.
Attendees will be able to collect literature and freebees in “plastic bags” distributed by vendors, but they will not be able to leave the show floor and return with the bags. A bag check will be available at the convention center.
